[opensuse] Help with crontab
by Gustav Degreef 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

Hello, I am trying to use festival TTS. It needs to be run as a server. The instructions are to enter in a console " sudo crontab -e" command then to add @restart /usr/bin/festival --server Tha is straightforward, but then I don't know how to proceed from there. I read the man page for crontab and it says that once the commands are specified, you have to exit the editor that is specified (I guess in my system) and then the crontab file becomes active. I have no idea where to proceed after I past the command into the window. I tried typing exit, q and control q, but nothing happens. The menu of the window says to save the output, but when I try that it gives a blank box to type a name to save it to. What is the correct way to finish the task Any help would be appreciated.

[opensuse] Firefox woes
by Dave Howorth 29 Sep '19

29 Sep '19

I just noticed that uBlock Origin has disappeared from my FF toolbar, and no longer turns up in the context menu either. I noticed that it had auto-updated today so I deleted it and reinstalled it, but still have the same symptoms. Anybody else seeing anything similar? I also discovered that FF will no longer access a whole bunch of websites, including e.g. addons.mozilla.org, whilst I can still ping them in a terminal. I use DoH (DNS over HTTPS) so I changed the mode from 3 (only DoH) to 2 (prefer DoH but fall back to regular DNS) and it all magically started working again. I have no idea what's going on there either, and would welcome any shared experience or suggestions about that as well. I'm running FF 60.8.0esr on Leap 15.0 (I haven't updated it for a while so I expect it isn't quite up to date, but at least I know that it wasn't an FF update that caused my problems.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] adjust mouse click/double-click timing on Tw
by Patrick Shanahan 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

there was mouse configuration in systemsettings5 -> input devices -> mouse to adjust the interval considered for double clicking but is no longer there. lately my mouse, logitech thumb track-ball has become quite touchy with click timing and I wanted to try to lengthen/increase the time delay for double click interval to perhaps solve. how may I now adjust that timing. and I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf and grep -ir mouse /etc/X11/* has no output or blank output tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problems with DNSMasq
by Anton Aylward 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

I'm using DNSmask lcoally. Mostly it is fine. I have a line in /etc/dnsmasq.conf that read # or if you want it to read another file, as well as /etc/hosts, use # this. addn-hosts=/etc/dnsmasq.d/block.hosts.txt The idea is to have lines like 127.0.0.1 addserver.mtv.com in there so that I don't see adverts. In that, it works. But to get some sites, such as HuffPost.ca, to work, I need to allow and advertising site, guce.advertising.com. So first I commented it out of the file, started the line is a hash - "#" just like works /etc/hosts, and restarted DNSMasq. Well it still go pinged to 127.0.0.1. I presumes it was a TTL issue and waited. No it still came back. That was last night. Its still like that this morning. Now I take the like out of the file altogether. Still the problem. In fact all the lines that begin # 127.0.0.1 are like that. The hash to comment them out isn't working. Now I remove that line altogether from /etc/dnsmasq.conf and restart dnsmasq. But still a ping or nslookiup to those addresses comes back as 127.0.0.1 TTL?

[opensuse] 15.1 System freezes
by Daniel Bauer 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

Hello, My OS 15.1 desktop computer with nvidia goes crazy since yesterday. After two or three days without reboot the KDE desktop suddenly freezed. I had to reset per hardware button. After reboot I used zypper up to bring the system to the latest updates. Now it freezes from time to time: after some minutes of working (browsers, or email, or digikam) it gets unresponsive. First the mouse cursor doesn't move. After a minute or two the cursor moves a bit, but immediately freezes again. After a while the cursor disappears. The keyboard doesn't respond to anything. After a reboot (or if I log out and in again) the "greeting page" (the kde login page) showns scrambled: only a part, or artifacts, or a white screen with a black border - creatively changing each time. I can enter the password and hit enter and get the desktop. After a short while it freezes for a second and shows a message like "kde display restarted" (could not read it really, was shown too short). When clicking in the menu "log out" the question "log in out in 30 seconds" is shown but the two buttons below are not visible or scrambled. I can hit enter though. At the moment the system is in an unusable state. Where can I look for what happened? What to search for? What data can I provide here so that somebody can help me? Where/how do I find this data? Thanks for your help. I'll check mail when 15.1 allows...

[opensuse] nvidia vs nouveau on 15.1
by Mark Hounschell 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

I just upgraded a 15.0 install to 15.1. I am using an NVIDIA Corporation G70 [GeForce 7800 GT] (rev a1) and the nvidia-304.137 kernel driver from nvidia. I've been patching this driver for use on the latest kernels for some time now. In fact on the 15.0 installation I am using it with a vanilla 5.3.0 kernel with no issues. The reason I cannot use the on kernel nouveau driver is because I can't get it to support multiple screens. Every monitor connected has the same thing displayed. On the 15.1 box after the upgrade from 15.0 I get this in the Xorg.0.log log file. [ 21.746] ================ WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ================ [ 21.746] This server has a video driver ABI version of 24.0 that this driver does not officially support. Please check http://www.nvidia.com/ for driver updates or downgrade to an X server with a supported driver ABI. [ 21.746] ================================================================= [ 21.746] (EE) NVIDIA: Use the -ignoreABI option to override this check. My question is how do I implement this "-ignoreABI" thing to override this check? Or maybe a better question might be why does the nouveau driver not support multiple screens multiple monitors? Or am I wrong there and just don't know how to configure it? "Settings/Configure-Desktop" is certainly no help there.

[opensuse] virtual machine manager display twice a virtual machine?
by Simon Becherer 21 Sep '19

21 Sep '19

Hi, i have some virtual machines running at one computer. (qemu with virtual machine manager, and display spice) when i would see the virtual-machines, i use from another computer: ssh -X name-of-system-where-virtual-machines-are-running /usr/bin/virt-manager the virtual manager will popup and i click on "open" for the specific virtual machine. all fine so far. but sometimes it would be good to have had one virtual-system on 2 different computers shown (open) at same time. this did not work. if i use the ssh command from another system, it will disconnect the virtual machine from the computer i have seen it before. so my question is, how to tell spice to show simultaneous the virtual machine on different computers? i do not see anything useful inside the virtual manager tab "display-spice" did i have to change some configuration files manually inside /etc/libvirt/ ? simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
